Greve in Chianti
Cellars
In the historical Wine Cellar of Greve in Chianti we have built a
modern wine shop where you can taste the best wines selected from
the Tuscan wine production. Wine can be bought in bottles (even through
mail orders) or simply tasted. The walls of the main hall are covered
with shelves where wine bottles are exposed, while in the centre of
the hall there is a counter where you can taste pork products and
local cheeses. At this counter visitors can buy a special magnetic
card, similar to phone cards, and by scanning it through special scanners
placed near the single shelves, they can decide to taste whichever
wine they wish, together with pork products, figs, melon, cheese,
etc. (according to the season). The cost of each tasting varies from
wine to wine and it is automatically taken off the card, and if, by
the end of the visit, the total value of the card hasn't been used
up, the visitor can cash the remaining value at the counter.
Panzanello Farm
The quality of the wine and oil produced at the Panzanello farm, which
was then property of Franciescho di Ugolini Ciucci, was already described
and extolled in the historical land registry of Florence in 1427.
Today, a young farmer has decided to follow the example of old Franciescho,
devoting himself full- time to the transformation of Panzanello's
products. In a dedicated and professional manner, his greatest ambition
is to satisfy the demands of a discriminating clientele with a taste
and knowledge of wine. For this reason we pay ever more attention
to the quality of our products, and starting with the harvest of 1998
we were able to complete our cycle of conversion to an officially
recognized Biological Farm. The farm covers 64 hectars of land, of
which 24 are planted with vines and olives. Like many, we too produce
wine , but in contrast to some others, we don't like to send away
our customers with a simple thanks and goodbye. Our wish is to listen,
understand, talk, inform and make suggestions, and these are the terms
that we use most frequently in our work.
